The 77th Annual Academy Awards was another night when everything was as it was anticipated, almost as if we knew that the dullest film would win everything.

“Million Dollar Baby” easily mistaken as a spin-off film from one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s plausible lines from “Terminator”, won best picture, best director, best actress and best supporting male. What about Clint?, “Are you feeling lucky, huh, are you?”

At seventy-four, he should be feeling lucky to still be around, particularly after “The Bridges Of Madison County”. It was as if, since the hobbits won it all last year, then the Academy decided: “let’s make next year all about Clint”.

The story of Hilary Swank – not to be confused as Skank - as the female boxer going pro was welcomed by the critics because Hilary has always expressed her acting well in transgender roles.

So is she a man or is she a woman? Is she really straight or is she gay? Or is she just a really convincing actress when it comes to butch characters?

That’s two for her now and one more for Clint who described their cast and crew “as a well oiled machine”. He would say that since, that’s all the technology they had back when Clint was born.

The Oscars was also a very oiled, flippin’ dripping greasy and kind of cheesy ceremony, with the words depressingly boring stamped all over it. Jamie Foxx won best actor for “Ray”, Cate Blanchett won best supporting actress in the “Aviator” and Morgan Freeman got a standing ovation when he collected his supporting actor award for “Million Dollar Baby”.

At least there won’t be a “Two Million Dollar Baby” unless; this time they get Michelle Rodriguez to play a boxer. No wait a minute, hasn’t this already been done before? A slightly male looking female punching her way through on the silver screen, as some sort of role model for women plagued by unusual high levels of testosterone. Yeah, but never by Clint Eastwood, by God!

However, The Golden Raspberries (aka the Razzie’s) has gained more momentum this year and surprised us with their annual ceremony in awarding the worst in film.

Halle Berry was present to collect her award for worst actress in “Catwoman” and blamed Warner Brothers and her agent for casting her into the role. The film also went on to win worst picture, worst screenplay and worst director.

But the ultimate A-lister awarded with worst actor was George W. Bush, for his part in “Fahrenheit 9/11”. If one looks back at Bush’s performance, seated in the children’s classroom reading nursery rhymes or in the scenes of him walking with a jitter in his step to and from Air Force One, you can see that he too, knew that his acting would be under scrutiny and that he also sensed the danger of the cameras prying eye.

Bush also picked up an award with Condoleeza Rice for being the worst screen couple for the film. Unfortunately, the president was not there to collect the award. Presumably kicking-off somewhere…

The Raspberries have clearly out done the Oscars as the winner on the night because it simply had more entertainment. If you didn’t stay up to watch it, then don’t even bother with the re-run because we can all take a blind guess on who won the rest.
